Last night was a perfect example.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in In the Middle of Nowhere Game Thread:
Back to back road games holding opponents under 50. That's an elite defense and did I hear Fran actually say KU was the best defense in the country as well tonight?
I didn't realize that. -that's pretty dam good holding them under 50 on their home floor. - -Like you said -- that's ELITE
Guys when is the last time we have seen a defense like this? - - I'm telling you this defense can take us a long ways, can't believe I am saying that - - but DAM - -this defense is just Elite. - -Marcus Garett on the defensive end is just insane. - - mercy I love this defense. - -and it is just like at time is BAM and here comes the run - -holy crap - - just shut down
amazing what a couple of made three's can do
I'm not watching this Bull S - - - Calls any more - -these refs well the one forsure has made up his mind that no way are we gonna win this dam game.
It's the same things that I've been saying that's going to cost us our chance at the Championship - Ugly 3 pt shooting - -even more Ugly free throw shooting - - - and Turnovers this kind of crap will end your season
@FarmerJayhawk said in In the Middle of Nowhere Game Thread:
Starting 4 smalls. Interesting.
HMMMM, would think that it would only be beneficial IF we can do a little better shooting the 3.
WV gonna have a mis match some where when they on offense. However WV is really ugly on the offensive end. - only shoot 43.2 % from TWO - - 30.3 % fro the THREE - -and only shoot 64.3 ft % - -thing is they just throw it up on the board and go get it
This game worries me a wee bit. - - - just leary of this one. West Virginia fans thumping they're chests about the game being a sellout. -Got to figure this is their game of the year at home, probably everyone pulling down the moonshine Bottles bringing them to the arena taking snorts at the TV timeouts - -taking snorts every time a foul is called taking TWO snorts when they MAKE a free throw and the down right chugging the dam thing during half time during the pig calling contest and half the females come runnin down out of the stands.
If your going strictly off stats KU wins we top them in pretty much every thing : - - -FG % - - -FT % - 3 pt % - - - Less Turnovers per - -which when you add it up probably means we get our ass takin to the tool shed.
They have went back pretty much to being press Virginia, Dotson just has to secure the ball, we can't be making these dam alley too - -the - -ooop passes that misses Doke but just a smidge - -like the one when OChai went to make one and it turned into making a basket like a shot.- -for once would be nice to make a few more three's - -better % -we shall see - let's hope my feeling is wrong. - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@COHawk said in WSU grudge:
@FarmerJayhawk To a person, all highly successful college coaches are control freaks who would lie, cheat, or steal to win. Just go down the list: Saban, Dabo, K, Roy, Calipari, Self, Dean, Knight, etc. Like it or not, that’s the price of sustaining success. All have obviously flaunted the rules and say they run a program “the right way.”
I think I would have to agree with you on this point. Years ago if a school was penalized, I would guess the infraction was blatant, or over the top. Definitely don't agree with the idea that to keep up with everyone else, a coach needs to cheat, but how does this problem get stopped?It's been going since college sports was a thing, so it's just the water we swim in. Phog was dirty, Rupp was dirty, Wooden was all-time dirty. Bear Bryant was dirty. Bobby Bowden was dirty.
So I guess either ignore it or quit caring? I've done the latter. I've accepted all the top programs (and most aspiring top programs) are dirty and that's that. Doesn't really affect my attitude toward KU basketball or college sports more generally. Still plop down every Saturday during football season and watch from noon to PAC-12 after dark.

Mid-majors get a nice check to come play KU at Allen or Sprint. WSU has never expressed any interest in a buy game, and a home and home makes zero sense for KU. Why give up the revenue from that home game? The programs have nothing in common except sharing a state. If they'd take a discount to play a buy game at AFH since travel is cheap then I'd consider it but again, the administration over there hasn't shown any interest in that since they cut off the series in the 90's. Takes two to tango and currently there's nobody on the dance floor.

I don't see the benefit of playing WSU in the regular season.
I would like to see a Sprint Center battle one year with KSU, KU, WSU and MU as our tournament. That'd be a ton of fun at PnL. Just two exhibitions in two day. KU plays MU and then WSU the next day. KSU plays WSU and then MU.
But that'd never happen.
that would be a great idea. How about playing that on an annual basis just like the tournament of Champions and just keep rotating the opposition every year? - -Wichita/Ku one year & K-state/Missouri - -then next year KU/Missouri and KState? Wichita St? - -see what I mean?

No, this was on UNC. Just mistake after mistake. Hero drives for TOs with 3 guys open, failing to inbound the ball, poor passing, poor rebounding, and abysmal defense.
Agree with it all but they couldn't get a simple foul call correct when a player gets clobbered trying to catch the ball. Its inexcusable
Boy you have to be talking about the NO CALL late when the Duke kid just practically molested the UNC player when they threw the ball to him on the in-bounds - -GREAT FOOTBALL HIT - -but even that would of been an illegal block in the back, bout knocked the kids teeth out hit him so hard - -yet NO CALL

@kjayhawks said in NUMBER ONE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE KANSAS JAYHAWKS:
@jayballer73 go back and rewatch the game, got layups off of loose balls rolling right to them and a couple of off balanced 3s late in the clock. They did control most of it but those lucky shots played a big hand in it.
Well I understand , but it's ok - you can still give them credit - -it's going to be ok, they are # 1 for a reason, they have done something that the OTHER # 1 teams wasn't able to do this season and that is they have continued to win AFTER being ranked #1 whether they win at home or on the road, - -that's a mark of a good team. Just go out and win , doesn't matter if it is an Ugly win , a lucky win or a Rout - - a win is a win whether you win by 1 OR 21 still counts the same.
You said loose balls right? - -so that means there was no team control , means it's all about who is willing to go after the ball more - - who wants it more. Could they lose ? - -Sure they can , they are human , they are going to turn you over, they're guards a VERY GOOD - - VEERY GOOD that's what happens when good guards pressure, look at our guards - awesome on the defensive end. - Like 9 steals a game - -that's beyond good. you might be surprised at how much luck does play in a lot of games , not just Baylor. - we have had our share of luck throughout the years.
Them getting lucky is just like luck playing a part in the NCAA Championship games at times. Luck plays a part to an extent in almost any game - -we gonna be fine. - -Will we win at Baylor? - who knows? - I sure the hell don't , do I think we win ? I hope so but yet I'm not willing to bet the farm on it. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Coach K is right, but if college basketball can't make itself more appealing than the G League and various international leagues this is only going to get worse. Look at Dotson for instance, good college player but he is going to go pro early despite not really having a shot at the NBA right now.
I hear ya buddy , and couldn't agree more - - just sad
@kjayhawks said in NUMBER ONE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE KANSAS JAYHAWKS:
@benshawks08 Baylor is proving themselves to be one of the best teams for sure. But man I’ve watched them not only play us but a couple other teams and man they have gotten pretty lucky at times. Hitting garbage shots at the most opportune time. I still don’t trust Scott Drew, he has had a lions share of talented teams down there. But has never won the conference title and only finished tied for second once. He has 3 sweet 16s and a single elite 8 in the NCAA tournament. His teams have just not got it done late in the season.
I really wouldn't say they got lucky when they played us, they pretty well controlled that game form opening tip - -they have really really good guards.
Oklahoma St played them well both times - -can't figure that out Okie St. - -They're game plan last night was to flat out make vital and Gilisipie beat them and not the guards - -worked pretty well at times last night - -actually quite a bit of the time
Just falls in line with a couple of things that I just don't get with this team , Okie State plays both games really well against Baylor - they was pretty much in Control with us. The West Virginia beats us up on the Boards, well they do that to a lot of people BUT Oklahoma pretty well hung with them hell may of eve out rebounded them - - fricken OKLAHOMA I just don't get that, how the hell can they do that lol? - -hell Mannick got 9 rebounds himself against them -that should not happen wit West Virginia , Doo LittleI think had 12 rebounds , weird game of Basketball
@BShark said in NUMBER ONE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE KANSAS JAYHAWKS:
@BeddieKU23 it's weird most KU fans seem down on the team but it's our best shot at a title in awhile.
partly because ALL of College Basketball is just down this year. - Sure we have a pretty good team just saying on top of us being good everyone is down.
Coach K actually made a pretty good point the other day before the game. - He said that Basketball is down partly because of all the kids declaring for the draft. - -I think they showed a stat like 68 underclass men declared for the draft - - is hat right ? - whatever the number just a ridicilious number - and out of that number how many get drafted ? or find a spot ? - takes away from the overall talent in College. - -I've sure noticed the difference this year , and it's been stated GOD knows how many times that there is just no Dominant team this year. - -Hell someone has to win it , might as well be us right ? - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 Actually, we only tuned in for overtime. In just 5 mins, all the mistakes I listed. I didn't even remember FTs cuz the rest was so bad.
It looked like the team was panicking and Roy didn't take charge to get them focused. Those inbounds plays with 17 secs left were utterly unfathomable.
thing is UNC I think I saw when watching led in this game at one point for like at that time 41 minutes of the game - -just epic meltdown, was up by double figures a lot of the game

Baylor is unreal lucky
Okie State got hosed in those last minutes. As you know that was not any 8 point game , not even a four point game. -- I don't blame Boyton AT ALL
I dunno , Texas Tech is just not the same as last year for sure. - - Texas Tech just flat taking it to them. Tech already with ten turnovers just barely half way through the fist half Tech down 22-8
This game in the end was pretty simple. - Our DEFENSE just ate them alive. unreal defense, after TCU cut it to 4 points that was followed by two steals - - -followed by a shot clock violation - -followed by two more steals, and it went from a 4 point lead to a 17 point lead.
In the 1st half they had absolutely no answer for Doke, it was a man taking candy from a baby. - Heard in the post game - -Doke 5 dunks in a 3 1/2 minute span, this defense can carry us a long ways. Best defense w have had in quite some time. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ahh ok , Thank you. I thought that's what it might be just wasn't sure.
